Several Aussies were on the scoresheet during the week in Europe, while Australians faced each other in Asia.

Scott McDonald's return to form carried on when he scored twice in a 2-1 win against Bolton on Sunday.

McDonald started on the bench, but made the most of his opportunities when he came on in the 21st minute.

After keeping a clean sheet last week, Brad Jones was given the job as Liverpool goalkeeper in the Merseyside derby, but could not repeat his efforts of a week ago as the Reds drew 2-2 with Everton on Sunday.

Jones kept his place in goal despite Pepe Reina returning to the Liverpool squad. Reina was left on the bench, which suggests Jones could find himself in the starting line up on a more regular basis.

While Aston Villa could only manage a 1-1 draw with Norwich City on Saturday, Chris Herd finally got an opportunity alongside Brett Holman in the starting side.

Herd played 90 minutes and received a yellow card in the draw, while Holman was substituted after a 76 minute shift.

Dino Djulbic scored again in China, converting for the third time in as many games as Guizhou drew 1-1 with Milan Susak's Tianjin Teda on Saturday.

Djulbic and Joel Griffiths have been scoring on a regular basis in China, while fellow Aussies Susak and Daniel Mullen have been getting plenty of game time in the CSL.

In Germany, Mathew Leckie joined the chorus of scoring Australians, as he goaled in FSV Frankfurt's 3-1 win over Jahn Regensburg on Sunday.

Richard Porta's stunning form for Dubai rolled on as he found the back of the net for the sixth time in five games as Dubai drew 1-1 with Al Nasr on Sunday.

GOOD WEEK/BAD WEEK

GOOD - DINO DJULBIC

Scored his third goal in three games on Saturday which takes him to five for the season. If his good form continues, Djulbic could help his side to an AFC Champions League spot. They sit only three points from third spot.

BAD - MARK SCHWARZER

Schwarzer would be fuming after taking only a point from his side's match with Reading on Saturday. Fulham conceded three goals in the draw, and the equaliser in the 90th minute came from a set piece which should have been cleared.

Apostolis (Paul) Giannou (PAOK) – Came on in the 80th minute of the scoreless draw with Kerkyra on Saturday.

Holland

Adam Sarota (Utrecht) – Played the full 90 minutes in Friday's 1-0 victory over Groningen.

Jason Davidson (Heracles Almelo) – Was on the bench for Sunday's 6-3 win against Heerenveen.

Ireland

Mark Griffin (Dundalk) – Not in the squad as Dundalk had their first win in seven games, a 2-1 victory over Bray Wanders.

Italy

Serie A

James Troisi (Atalanta) – Came on in the 77th minute of the 0-0 draw with Pescara on Sunday.

Serie B

Carl Valeri (Sassuolo) – On the bench again as his side won 1-0 over Juve Stabia on Friday. Sassuolo sit four points clear in 1st in Serie B.

Japan

Joshua Kennedy (Nagoya Grampus) - Did not play in the 1-1 draw with Yokohama on Saturday.

Jade North (Consadole Sapporo) – There has been speculation linking North with a move back to Australia after not playing a game for Consadole since August. On Saturday they were hammered 5-0 by Tokyo and North did not play.

Adrian Madaschi (Jeju United) – Not in the squad for the 2-1 win over Matt McKay's Busan I'Park on Saturday.
